Benny Andrews' 1985 painting "Norman Lewis" is a portrait of the renowned abstract expressionist painter. The work is characterized by Andrews' signature style, featuring bold, simplified forms and a limited color palette. Lewis is depicted in a simple, yet powerful composition, standing against a white background, with a cigarette in his hand, wearing a suit and a white shirt. The work reflects Andrews' interest in celebrating Black figures and their contributions to art and culture.
